Remember the ‘Before and After Shots’ of the Dwarf Ligustrum? If not visit the blog post pix from July 19, 2013. But here is the picture after it’s first styling last year.
Thought you might like to see a pix of it today — see below. It was trimmed a couple of weeks ago after some long summer growth and here it is now.
For a little guy, it puts out a lot of new growth so it must be controlled if you want to have a good bonsai but isn’t it sweet. Of course, there is still more work to be done with the growth of the tree, the shortening and styling of the top. After that, the next step will be to put it in a bonsai pot. That’s always fun. Choosing the right pot is rewarding and makes all the difference but I guess that’s the subject of another blog post for a rainy day. 
Enjoy bonsai and life.

Is that the dwarf Ligustrum from the CFBC styling contest a couple of years ago?
It is not. This is one that I did in Tropical Bonsai School last year. It has much tinier leaves than the one we styled at CFBC. When I pot it up, I will bring it to the club meeting so you can see it. Thank you for asking, Benjamin.
